Apparatus and method of superconducting magnet cooling

Abstract

A superconducting magnet assembly and method of cooling a superconducting magnet assembly includes thermally connecting a pulsating heat pipe to the superconducting magnet assembly and adding a liquid cryogen to the pulsating heat pipe. The superconducting magnet assembly also includes a coil former, at least one superconducting solenoid magnet comprising at least one superconducting winding wrapped about the coil former and configured to generate a magnetic field, and at least one pulsating heat pipe thermally connected to the at least one superconducting solenoid magnet. The present invention has been described in terms of specific embodiment(s), and it is recognized that equivalents, alternatives, and modifications, aside from those expressly stated, are possible and within the scope of the appending claims.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a way to make sure that magnetic devices made with high-temperature materials are always cooled properly without requiring too much expensive liquid nitrogen. This makes them easier to use and assemble, which can save money and simplify their operation.

Problems solved by technology

This patent discusses how much it costs to operate and make superconducting magnets due to the high price of helium, which they require. There are technical needs to reduce these expenses by finding ways to lower production and maintenance costs while still achieving effective results with the magnets.
